About this property

Newtonmore 5.5 miles. This character cottage is nestled in the small, remote hamlet of Etteridge close to Loch Etteridge amongst the Scottish Highlands. Set in a peaceful region of Scotland, Hazel provides a relaxing break for families seeking a bit of time away from everyday life. After a day of rambling, look forward to unwinding in the sitting room, appointed with an alluring woodburner to keep you toasty during the winter months. Move into the kitchen to prepare your meals, home to an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge and dishwasher, there’s plenty to assist with home-cooking. Pour yourself a glass of prosecco to accompany your dinner, before stepping outside and enjoying the wild Scottish scenery as the sun sets. On the ground floor lies the first bedroom, a sumptuous super-king-size (zip/link) with en-suite shower room, while upstairs hosts a further king-size and twin, each neutrally presented. Start your morning routine with a rinse and pamper in the shower room before preparing a coffee and planning for the day ahead. From the door there are plenty of beautiful walks spanning across the Scottish hills, flowing rivers, tranquil lochs and a variety of wildlife. If you’re looking to take in further outdoor pursuits, why not try skiing during the winter, canoeing on Loch Laggan or mountain biking at Wolftrax? Hop in the car to the village of Newtonmore, offering a selection of restaurants, pubs and shops to stock up on the essentials, as well as wonderful walking trails leading right from your doorstep. The area is a real haven for wildlife enthusiasts as the high mountains and ancient forests attract wildcats, capercaillie and pine martens along with golden eagles too. Escape to Hazel and experience all that wonderful Scottish Highlands has to offer.

Newtonmore, in the Cairngorms National Park (Britain's largest), includes various stores and pubs, as well as two superb, award-winning museums: the Highland Folk Museum and the Clan MacPherson Museum, which all overlook the River Spey. Newtonmore's Wildcat Trail is a popular 7–mile circular walk that takes in the River Spey, woodland, moorland, and spectacular views across the valley to the Cairngorms, as well as behind the hamlet to the Monadhliath Mountains - a suitable start to the National Park's charms. The Folk Park, Kincraig Wildlife Park, Landmark at Carrbridge, and the Steam Railway are also excellent local attractions for younger tourists.

    An absolute home from home with everything you could ask for. Lovely area with lots for us to do with the dog! Thank you to Leanne and Adam for a great October break!

  • Anthony

    Well situated near the A9 for easy access to Aviemore and Inverness and following areas of the Cairngorms. Hazel cottage is very well equipped for all needs. I have no hesitation to recommend anyone looking for a dog friendly cozy cottage for a Scottish highlands holiday.

  • John

    Amazing amount of birds seen from the patio. Hope to return with more guests and my dog. Another Sykes success.
